On Monday, the Homer City community welcomed a new ice cream shop to the area.
Gilbert Woodley and his family officially opened Wave Ryder Sweet Shoppe along South Main Street, a couple buildings away from Fox’s Pizza Den. Wave Ryder closed on its building on September 9th and renovations began soon after, allowing for a grand opening on Halloween.
Woodley said the inspiration for opening Wave Ryder Sweet Shoppe was to add variety to Homer City.
Customers have the option to browse the store’s selection of candy and Penn State Creamery Ice Cream, but they can also shop for rustic knick-knacks, such as handmade crafts, board games and more. Woodley said it fits the “vintage” flavor they were aiming for.
Wave Ryder Sweet Shoppe is open Monday through Friday from 10-6 p.m., and also on Saturday from 10-2 p.m.
